Homemade lemon vodka

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make homemade lemon vodka? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Take vodka of good quality. The amount of sugar can be slightly changed to your liking. And in general, all the proportions are approximate and you can adjust them at your discretion. Choose medium-sized lemons with a smooth peel. Lumpy lemons will have a very thick peel, so there will be less juice.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash lemons thoroughly with a brush in warm water and soap to wash off all dirt and wax that they are covered with before sale. Pour boiling water over the lemons. Remove the zest from the lemons, trying not to touch the white part. The white part will give bitterness. And squeeze the juice from the lemons themselves.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour sugar into the jar and put the lemon zest. Pour lemon juice over everything. Stir until the sugar begins to dissolve.

5. Step 4:

   

   Fill the contents of the jar with vodka, close the lid and mix everything again. Store the jar at room temperature for 3-5 days. The warmer it is in the room, the faster the drink will infuse. During the infusion, the jar must be shaken several times so that the sugar has time to completely dissolve.

   Strain the finished drink through several layers of gauze and pour it into a decanter or into a clean bottle. Before use, I recommend lemon vodka to cool for several hours in the refrigerator.
